ISSUES

i had so many technical issues within my island. everytime i added a blend layer it would say replace me underneath it. everytime i used rayfire all my peices would explode and then say it had no texture on it, so in the final trailer there are bits of wall that you cant see that have fallen over however i thought it would taint the video.

week 6 lecture

the week 6 lecture was on failure. it somewhat helped in my project. this is because in my event humanity was wiped out so there could be no graffiti, and there was no peeling paint since it was a concrete structure, however in my texture it looks like bits of the wall have fallen off.

strategy statement

for my project i thought that 100 years wasn't too long so as every wall in the building would collapse. so i just made it that the outermost wall fell and the big concrete structure fell. my event was  a huge flood that wiped out humanity, so you can see in my video that the water level has risen. with the big concrete structure i tried to show the rollers breaking over time. and form the rollers breaking the stressed caused on the structure in turn caused it to collapse.

decay stratergy

for my project i am going to make it that humans all died out in the worst storm man kind has ever seen. my island is going to be flooded (mostly) and there is going to be perpetual rain and thunderstorms. i am going to show the big concrete structure collapsing from the rollers underneath it giving way and i am going to show some of the walls within the building collapsing. i feel like 100 years wouldn't be enough for all of the structural issues to take place so its only really the outside walls that faced the full brunt of the storm and the big structure that i am going to show collapse. i am going to take the exact same shots when i do the before and after the storm to fully show the change.
